REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES.
The Party of High Morals Has a
Quiet Time.

The Republican caucuses throughout the
city were quiet, even to monOtony. AS
rule the caucuses were poorly attended
and interest very slack. In most cases it
was the merest conjecture to name the
probable candidates for aldermen, but the
following are the results OF the best
Judgment obtainable. The First ward
was as quiet as might have
been expected and nothing like instructions
were given the delegates. 1t is believed
John Fleetham will be renominated with
out opposition for alderman. A fight was
made in the Second against BarrowS by the
workingmen, but men like John Pllsbury
turned out and worked for him to offset
this. The other candidate was Her.
zog, but Barrows carried every precinct.
Harmony was the word in the
Third and no instructions given. 1t is I'M
derstood Robert Pratt and liver Hanson will
be nominated aldermen. The Fourth ward
showed up very strong for d. A. Macarthur,
who carried the Third, Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh precincts. The Second precinct is
for Lane and the Fourth for Parcher. The
choice of the First was not expressed. Nc
Arthur will be the nominee. After hard
tight in the Fifth between G. W. CLARK and
w. o. Potter. it looks as if the former
had a majority of one vote. He seems
precincts with nineteen votes. while Potter
got the First. Third, Fourth and Seventh
with eighteen votes This may be changed
when the delegates get together. Without
hope of success the Sixth ward caucuses
We're sllmly attended, the Democrats get
ting all this crowd. Still there was fight
on, and the delegates are pretty evenly
divided among John Peterson, Andrew
Thoraldsen and W. G. Mccartney. The re-
suit will not be known until Tuesday,
when the man showing the most strength
will be nominated. In the Seventh the re-
suit gives L. l.. Wheelock five delegates, d,
T. Davies four and j. NJ. Meloy three. A
fight is in prospect. The Liberal Republi-
cans of the Eighth were very much dis
| heartened to learn of the nomination of o.
A. Stoneman against j. A. Mumford.
StOneman carried the First and
Fourth precincts with eleven delegates and
Muuford the Second and Third with seven
delegates. The Ninth ward swarmed with
candidates, and the choice Of delegates
gives little clue to the result. 1t is probable
that S. S. Farnham. c. w. Lundquist and
Herman Vogt will be the choice though
the latter has a hard fight with Brown.
The Tenth ward caucuSeS were quiet. the
| only contest was between the First and Sec
ond precincts. The Second precinct candi-
dates. Reeves and Purcell, will probably come
off victorious The delegates elected were:
First precinct, James Gillespie, c. NJ Lor-
ing; Second precinct, E. L. Grager, n.
Anderson. FL. Mcintosh. The Eleventh
ward Republican caucuses were we'll at
tended and passed off quietly as near as
can be learned. The First precinct dele
CATION favors N. P. Peterson and J. H.Paul
for aldermen; the Second. j. L. johnson
and J. D. Muldoon, the Third J. d. Mood
doom. with n. P. Peterson or j. A. Paul as
second choice, while the delegations from
the Fourth and Fifth were non committaI.
The caucus in the Twelfth was quiet and
harmonious. and resulted in the choice of
delegates favorable to j. l.. Parker and
John Vanderworker for aldermen. In the
Thirteenth ward general meeting of the
Republicans of the two precincts was
held at the King farm. Two factions
appeared. one calling itself the Peoples
party and the other the Republican. The
| feeling ran very high. j. G. Cressry and
| W. Wilson seemed to be the choice of the
majority for delegates, with James S. Gray
and William Crew their preference fol
aldermen. There will be contest at the
conv ention from this ward.
